A new surveyfrom NPR/PBS News/Marist found that President-elect Donald Trump, "will begin his presidency in [a] delicate position,” noting that survey respondents “have high expectations that their personal financial situations will improve under Trump, but more think tariffs will hurt rather than help the economy.”
- NPR notes: “Trump has promised bold action, but, as the NPR poll shows, the politics may be tricky. Presidents often become vulnerable because of overreach. They tend to believe — falsely — that because they were elected, they have a mandate for everything on their agenda. Clearly, that's not the case.”
- Lee Miringoff at Marist notes: "The opening round of the second term is not going well with the public. Americans are not convinced of Trump's agenda pillars, including pardons and tariffs. Mass deportations are only getting mixed reviews."
